Good question.  I'd say give the Focus software a try.  I doubt it would 
work, but then again I can barly figure out the Focus software even on a 
good day.  Tony (or someone) really need to rewite it to make it more user 
friendly.  When I sell the Focus CF Adapters 
(http://www.reactivemicro.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_24&products_id=40) 
the buyer normally emails me asking for help setting up the CF Card.  It's 
always a major undertaking it seems.  Anyone willing to setup a new CF Card 
and write down a cookbook set of instructions?  I and a lot of others would 
really appreciate the help!  Contact me and we'll work something out for 
your time.

I have read the ROM for the card.  If anyone would like to take a look at 
it, it's here:
